Want to learn about performance management quickly and efficiently? My first recommendation is to take my email class: Powerful Performance Management. The performance management class is set to have lessons delivered weekly, but if you are in a hurry, you can click the link at the bottom of the first course newsletter. Fill in the lessons you want quickly and this action will send you all of the performance management lessons immediately.
Don't want to take the email class? These are the articles I'd like you to read in this order and why. This is the quick path to learning about performance management and performance development planning.
- Performance Appraisals Don't Work tells you why you want to move away from the traditional appraisal system.

- Performance Management is Not an Annual Appraisal provides the components of a performance management system.
